ABOUT ME

Commercial Photographer​Bob Bretell

I started taking pictures when i was just a wee lad of .... well, the truth is I aspired to be a rock guitar legend but as fate would have it my career took a different path. No complaints though - photography has been a passion for well over 35 years and I am fortunate to have been able to transition with the times and the technology. If my work stands out it is because I have taken the time to understand the basics of photography - Learning to master light and composition, being sensitive to details and adapting to new technologies to name a few .... and maybe a little luck along the way. My clients have been as diverse as my portfolio. If you don't see exactly what you are looking for on my website the chances are I have it in my archives. Regardless of whether you have the need for a simple business portrait, a new product to promote or a catalog to shoot, I bring the same level of talent, creativity and fun to every project.

His quick wit keeps the subject at ease and always makes the process a lot of fun. Very highly recommended!Derek C. on October 6, 2016

Very professional, organized, would recommend! Shooting a group of 15 people is not an easy task, but he pulled it off without a hitch.MARY A. on October 2, 2016

Bob photographed a sporting event for me in north San Diego County. It took about two hours. He was punctual and the quality of his work was exceptional. He viewed and photographed the subjects in a creative and beautiful manner. I can't imagine how the experience could have been improved nor how he could improve upon the job in the future.Patti N. on June 20, 2016
